Dramatic Play is an important part of learning-MGT

Dramatic play 

is a safe way for children to explore ideas, try out new roles, build friendships and to express a range of emotions. 

1. Dramatic play can be defined as a type of play where children accept and assign roles, and then act them out. It is a time when they break through the walls of reality, pretend to be someone or something different from themselves, and dramatize situations and actions to go along with the roles they have chosen to play.

 This month we have been learning about things that grow in a garden. 

 We discussed plants that we eat, such as carrots, celery, peas, beans, lettuce and more. 

 For dramatic, play the children played restaurant in the cooking area. The children took turns being the chef, taking orders and being the customers. They explored the idea of picking food from the (pretend) garden and cooking it. I love how they discussed how the food should be prepared and served. They used their manners when talking to each other.  They helped solve problems that arose. Such as, who was going to cook next and I don't have money to buy food.

As a teacher, I love to listen and watch the children play different roles. I learn how problems are solved in each of the children homes, how parent's speak to their children and much more.
